Ever since I was 5 years old I was given the promise of a President dying in office every 20 years. Waited almost 50 years for this.

No clue no clue? The blue sky and parts of twitterverse have spent the last 2 hours or so convinced that we'll have a 48th US President this weekend.

I know this is different, but since JD Vance may be involved in both, how long was Francis dead before it went public? secondary half-serious thought though is if he has passed Stephen Miller could be trying to manage the situation before Vance gets sworn in to insure his safe passage to Argentina

To the extent that this is true, and its not debatable that pharma is gauging us, Republicans and many democrats have fought tooth and nail against anything that would lower prices to what we should pay. His boss undid the fucking insulin caps. These people should be rocketed to mars.

Confused by 11 seasons, "no way is he that young?" but he missed two and hasn't played in two (drafted 2010). Seems like the first modern contract super max horror story, which is now like 80% of them?

Would love if he could be sold on a bench role with a promise to trade at the deadline if its not working. That should enhance his tradeability and insure he can go to a contender on a short list (just not one team only please?)
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
I could probably be talked into top 8 (maybe top 5) on the 2030 and failing that it is the one from the Kings/Spurs swap the following year. But to be honest they should be over the moon with the last reported offer of Monk and a lotto protected first.
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
Monte era will take some time to process. Feels like an era of lost opportunity but I'm not even sure who is at fault. Brown seems to have had a fair amount of personnel input and he also just wouldn't play guys. But I do feel like looking back as a whole Monte only got about $.75 on every dollar.
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
Two things because I think Eric's analysis is fair: pick swap as horrible as it is was at least partially Petrie (or Magoofs) fault for the stupid stupid stupid Casspi/Hickson deal that took practically the entire 2010s to convey. And Vlade largely a figurehead - Brandon Williams was the idiot.

There's no way he'd take the QO. He'd sign an MLE deal with any team before that and make GS match. Otherwise his Bird rights are gone and his next team likely is an MLE deal, may as well start that clock in 2025 and not leave money on the table.

I am sure he did that and I am also sure that all the nazis they welcomed in with open arms believe she was Epstein's Mossad handler and the ringleader of the whole operation which was done to blackmail American political leaders into becoming operatives for Israel. This will go down well.

While I wouldn't want to minimize his contributions to me becoming a huge wrestling fan over last 40 years, I'm relieved he's no longer soiling that legacy. I could say the same about Ozzy (tbh) who I think was a good person but he also clearly went out on his own terms.

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Hulk Hogan - Top 3 memories: January 23, 1984 - Hulk Hogan defeats the Iron Sheikh before a capacity crowd at MSG Arena to launch Hulkamania and catapult WWF into the stratosphere July 7, 1996 - at WCW's Bash at the Beach Hogan joins the NWO launching WCW into the stratosphere July 24, 2025 - 1/?

As bad as Trump was in the campaign I didn't think he'd successfully install a nazi or christofascist in his cabinet that actually had sway and yet those guys may be the only ones doing what MAGA likes and RFK (I think his voice will always do him in) probably would have done numbers if not 4 Trump
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
Hegseth, Miller and maybe RFK Jr or one of the Trump kids are only people I think could make MAGA happy and are completely unencumbered by the uniparty/deep state/xINO pulls towards neo-conservatism. Heaven help us.

FFS you gotta look at say March - mid July 1990 and August - Oct of 1991 to understand my pain. I'm a punk rock guy at heart but these were my angry thrash years. Some of the best albums in history were released on either side of 16 for me!!!
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social)
Contenders for Top 10 - and one extra because I can't verify exact release date. The amount of drops from early 1990 and late 1991 further proof that having a July birthday sucked!!!

Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
There's stuff I just am not even bothering looking up the release date - like I saw Black Crowes before they blew up - but it was a month before I got my driver's license and I know this because I was visiting a best friend in Milwaukie and left a quarter mile rubber trail down his driveway
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
Cowboys from Hell (I would not choose this as Vulgar is only acceptable Pantera album - missed by 4 days!) July birthday is proving to be just as bad as it was in elementary school!!!

Jeebus, Forbidden's Twisted into Form also fails this test. what the heck man. lol. August-September 1991 also has about 100 bangers plus the black album which I would pass on.

seriously pains me that Social Distortion's s/t and Death Angel Act III are going to miss the cut. I know that Facelift and Rest in Peace are likely to make my top 10.

Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
His 2 year deal for just a few dollars will only have early-Bird rights when it ends vs. signing a 1+1 (if offered) and getting a pay day next year, I think he just wanted to play for LA more than anything. The rule should be changed so it only applies to the team that declines the option though.

Well now that depends on Vivek allowing Perry to execute it. He did reset NYK over 2-3 seasons. If he really has been given a gap year that's great. Monte had a playoff mandate. I am not sure Perry does.

Frankly not optimism, since I actually like watching the team and rooting for wins.

We're clearly falling behind the Blazers, Spurs and Mavs and hell the Suns and Pelicans won't even have their pick to tank for. We could wind up in 14th above the Jazz. This is what a lot of people (not me) wanted.
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
They didn't sign Eubanks to play major minutes. Signed Maxime to guaranteed deal. They wanted a PG to run a system while the 1st and 2nd year guys figure out their role. This team is not competing for a play in. All that "gap year" talk prior to the start of FA.
Corey (@coreymac.bsky.social) reply parent
I think the team is setting itself up to play the youth more and probably bottom out over the next two seasons which many say is the only way for us to get better but those same people are screaming bloody murder now. I don't see us competing for anything higher than 12th and high lotto positioning.

What I don't understand the LaRavia thing is why he didn't insist on a 3 year deal if the money was only that small bit over what we could give him vs. a 1+1 option? after two years with Lakers the max they can offer will be 175% of his salary on an early-Bird. He chose Lakers over long term $$$ too
